I have bought this phone few days back, now I wanna admit that this phone's feature is equivalent to the phones costing around 25k- 30k inr. outstanding camera quality and features, so smooth to drive its UI.
so sexy and stylish that "it feels good" to hold. i haven't tried any games on it apart frm the lower one's bt on the basis of the hardware this phone is equipped with, definitely it will prove 100% to it.
Also battery stand is quite disappointing. Ends in half of the day on net connectivity.
Overall its the best you can get in 7k inr.
Strongly recommended.
well done ASUS engineers.

I got this phone recently from flipkart, As soon as i connected to internet, i got update and allowed it to update. then the google play store is not working properly. the desired app is visible on search tab but nothing is displayed on body. such a worst thing happen to me

AnonD-59752, 28 Dec 2014Hey guys,
I want its standby time in both 2g network.
If i turn off mobile data and wifi and... moreevery night I switch off data pack and wifi and run pre installed RAM booster.

As much as space available for apps and data (No partition of available internal memory). [it is an advantage over Micormax Unite2 with only 700(total)-300(preinstalled)= 400MB of space available for apps.]

Battery backup is good as it last one full day in average use (whatsapp, music, little browsing and gallery surfing).

Charging of battery is pretty good and fast.

Smooth performance through out, doesn't faced any hanging problem neither in zenUI nor in any app.

No heating Problem.

Touch is great and sensitive, even after applying local screen guard it worked great.

Camera performance is just good, If I compare 8MP camera of zenfone and that of Samsung S2. (Samsung wins with flying colours).

Camera is loaded with tons of features which are pretty good in its working. Auto focus mode is available.

One of the great feature is that we need not to reboot the phone while changing or inserting sim card(s) and memory card. It detects without rebooting.

PC connectivity via. USB is good with nice ~7MBps data transfer rate.

Now Lets talk about NEGATIVE of zenfone 450cg

Incomming Call listening speaker is as bed as any Cheap China toy speaker. (believe me I've used three different zenfone 4.5 and one zenfone 4 and all have the same problem). They have used low quality speaker while in assembly unit.

(This is the only reason I replaced my zenfone 4.5 whole three times and finally asked for refund my money back via. flipkart return policy).

Music speakers are just good for normal use, a bit low volume speaker. Although Earphone sound is fine.

While playing song in default music player, you cannot set it as Ringtone as there is no such option available. So you need to go to Setting->Sounds... and then choose song from the long list then set it as ringtone.

Brightness of the screen is just OK. In Outdoor you barely able to see even after at 100% brightness. Even worst at outdoor, Screen's glassy reflection not let you see anything clearly.

Capacitive buttons doesn't have backlit illumination. So you need to guess the position of button at dark places.

So I would suggest you if you doesn't bother about the Incomming call speaker quality it is a must phone to buy over other phones of same race and you won't regret having that phone.

And I hope other smartphone makers also inherit the User Interface(UI) and User Experience(UX) of this zenfone series.

Probably a basic problem with how Android deal with image memory thumbnail database. If rooted you could clear the database by using sdmaid, but if not you should delete .thumbnail folder in internal/external memory DCIM. it should clear the problem for awhile.
